We are asking for donations of Christmas puddings, biscuits/cakes, selection boxes, chocolates/sweets, tinned ham/salmon, tea/coffee, jam/marmalade, chutney/pickled onions etc. Please place your donations at the back of each church as soon as possible. The final date for donations is the weekend of December 12th and 13th, so that the hampers can be prepared and delivered in time for Christmas. Please do not donate any perishable items.
